C++ Question

[Ninjakreborn]

    if (std::strcmp(answer, "yes")) {
        std::cout<<"Please stand by while the data is being gathered and the file is being generated...\n";
        std::ofstream outfile("C:/Users/businessman332211/Desktop/test.txt");
        outfile << "This is data." << std::endl;
        outfile.close();
        system("pause");
    }

I had this figured out before, but I stepped away from C++ and I am trying to pick up where I left off.

basically I just want to generate a text file on the desktop...This isn't working even though everything i have read tells me it should

 

Another question..what happens if I want to step out of the C drive and access another drive...for example an External harddrive, or a secondary drive on the same computer?

Nevermind..it was me using the compare function wrong.

    if (std::strcmp(answer, "yes") == 0) {
        std::cout<<"Please stand by while the data is being gathered and the file is being generated...\n";
        std::ofstream myfile;
        myfile.open("C:/Users/businessman332211/Desktop/example.txt");
        myfile<<"This is data.";
        myfile.close();
        return 0;
    }

That is the right way.
